  They eventually return to the bureau. As Emily, JJ, Luke and Reid go inside, Matt stops to look at a wall containing frames of fallen agents. He looks around till he stops at a particular one: Stephen Walker. 
“Thank you.” Matt quietly says as he stares at his frame. Just then a man walks up beside him.
“And to think that we were about to add another one of theses.” Matt turns to see Rossi beside him. The two smile before joining into a hug.
“Welcome back.” He says. The two men would then walk into the conference where the rest of the team was waiting. As they get inside, the two teams stand to take turns hugging Matt. Penelope was the the first to hug him, as she was eager to when she heard that Matt was going to be alright.
“Uhmph.” Matt groans as Penelope hugs him tightly.
“Woah, easy Penelope.” Luke says. “He just got out of the hospital. You don’t want to let him bleed again.”
Penelope then pulls back. “I’m sorry, it’s just that you know I get all when one of my friends get hurt and I didn’t know what to do, I was sc-” Matt cuts her off before she could continue. He saw that she was about to burst in tears so he touches her cheek, comforting her as he tell her that he’s now okay.
 He then wipes a tear off her face. “Don’t cry Penelope, I’m still here.”
“Well, yeah. It’s just you know me when it comes to my friends getting hurt.”
“I know.” He replies as she wipes her own tears before continuing. “You know me, I get teary eyed when it comes to stuff like this. I’m really glad you’re okay.” “I know, and it’s nice to see you and your precious smile again.” Penelope blushes and smiles at him. “Oh, please.” She shrugs. It seems as if she was slowly becoming back to herself once he complimented her. Matt's presence brought back her cheery optimism. Once he did, she gleefully stares at her before moving away to give Tara and the IRT a chance to hug him.
“Glad to have you back.” Tara says as she hugs him.
“Oh, it’s good to be back.” Matt responds.
“Yeah, we were so worried about you. Glad that you’re okay.” “Thanks.”
Once he was done hugging Tara, he then makes his way to the IRT, his former teammates. 
“Jack.” Matt says with glee before hugging. “It’s so good to see you guys again.” “Well, we just came to help an old friend.” Jack says. “When Emily told me that you were in trouble, I just had to call up the rest of the team.”
“Yeah, even though the IRT no longer exists we’re still willing to help out our old friends.” Clara says as she hugs Matt. “We couldn’t let you, Emily and the BAU handle this alone.”
“Yeah, thanks.” 
“No problem.” Clara then pulls out from the hug as Matt reaches to hug Mae.
“Disbanded or not, you’ve always been a part of us Matt and we’re glad that you transferred to the BAU.” Mae says. “You were like a brother to me and I almost cried when we thought we were losing you.”
“I know.”
"But I’m glad that you’re still here. Besides, who else could I exchange banters with and tease Monty over the weekends.”
“Hey.” Monty says and she and Matt laugh before he reaches to hug Monty.
“Good thing I save the best for last.” Matt says as he hugs Monty.
“Yeah.” Monty says. “But we’re still on for karaoke night this Saturday, right?” He asked. 
“Yeah. Saturday, 8 o’clock. I won’t be late.” Matt says.
“Good, you better not.” Monty responds.
Once he pulled out from the hug, he then stares at his teammates, both old and new.
“I just want to thank you all, for everything that had happen. Even when I wasn’t honest with you, when I left without a trace you still cared about me. Even when you found out about the threats I’ve been getting, you didn’t let it intimidate you from finding me. But most importantly, even when I was on the verge of dying, you never gave up on me.” The two teams listen on as he continues. “When I was on the verge of death, I saw a flash of bright light that took me to a beautiful place. Everything about was beautiful, no violence, no blood, it was quite peaceful. I thought about staying there, thinking that it was time for me to go, but I didn’t and you know why.”
“Why?” Emily asked.
“Because, there was a part of me who realized what I’ll leave behind should I ever go, and that’s the people I love and who care about me. My wife, my kids but especially you guys, I couldn’t bear to leave the people who loved and care about me, it’s too much. And suddenly, with the thoughts of the people who care about me, it gave me a reason to come back, and I did.”
 His friends were moved by his words but no one was ever more moved than Emily, who when she was on the verge of dying saw nothing but cold, dark emptiness. 
“Oh Matt.” Penelope says, and she and the rest of the team gather in one big group hug with Matt. Once they all hugged, Matt then tries to pull away
“Air, air!” Matt gasps as the hug was getting too tight. The team would all pull away.
“Oh, sorry Matt.” Penelope says as she point to his stomach, “Bandage, I almost forgot.”
”It’s okay.” He says. He then stares at the team before saying one last thing. “Well, I guess I’d better get going, my mandatory 6-month break would start any moment now.” He then looks to Emily. “Right?”
“Right.” Emily says as she looks at her watch. 
“Yeah, it’ll give me enough time to rest as well as catch up with me and my wife-” He then raised his eyebrows makes a slight smirk and winks. 
“Woah, oh..okay.” The team members were surprised when they realize he what he meant.
“Woah, for someone who just got shot, you still have time to make jokes.” Tara said, and he and the rest of the team laughs.
“Yeah, but also to spend some time with my kids. They probably need their father right now.”
“Yeah, they do.” JJ says
“Yeah.” he says. He then looks at the team one last time. “Thank you.” He says. He then leaves before being stopped by Penelope.
“Wait, let me walk you to the front door.” Penelope insists.
“Uh Penelope I don’t think it’s neces-”
“Look mister, you may have survive but anything could happen. Besides I vow to keep your word on looking after your precious cherubs.”
“Okay.” Matt says.
“Hey, allow me to join.” Luke says before walking out.
“Me too.” Reid also adds.
One by one, each member leaves to walk out of the room to follow Matt till only Emily and Jack remain. They turn to look at each other.
“Thank you for looking after him.” Jack says.
“Oh, it’s no problem, we’re glad to take him in.” The two were silent before she continues. “Though I must say, he was quite a handful in earlier cases.”
“Yeah, he was...but he is a brilliant agent whose good at what he does. He makes a great addition to the team” “Yeah he does....we’re really glad to have him.”
Both Emily and Jack smile as the stare from a distance watching the rest of the team accompany Matt to the elevator. They wave at him before the elevator door closes, promising that they’ll visit him over the break. Matt then leaves to see his wife and his kids running to him. He then takes turns hugging them before they head off.
“So, what now, since you’re on break?” Kristy asks.
“Well, I told the team that it’s the perfect time to catch up on some family time which is what I’ll do and maybe later..” He leans close to Kristy. “We could have some time to catch up when the kids aren’t home.” He and Kristy smile before leaning to a kiss. They would then reach the car. Once inside, they drive off, heading to who knows where.  
3 weeks later
A few weeks have passed up until the day that happens to be Matt’s birthday. He and his family just came back from the mall after celebrating.
“Happy Birthday hun.” Kristy says. “I’m sorry the team couldn’t make it.” “It’s okay, they’re still working on a case so I don’t blame them. What matters more is that I got to celebrate it with my family.” He then leans to kiss Kristy. Once they got to the door, he noticed that it was slightly open. Fearing that someone broke in, he tells Kristy and the kids to move back before pushing the door.
“Matt. What’s wrong?” “Just stay back.” he then carefully pushes the door further to check if the coast is clear. Believing that he was just hearing things he tells his wife and kids that is was nothing and tells him to come inside. He then turns the lights on. Suddenly a group of people emerge behind the furniture and kitchen as they jump out into the living room.
“SURPRISE!” They all yell as they throw confetti and blow horns.
Matt was shocked and surprised but overall glad as his teammates surprised him with a birthday party.
“Guys..”  Matt was at a loss for words, he didn’t know what to say. “I..thought you guys were working on a case.”
“We were but no case wasn’t gonna stop us from missing your birthday.” Emily says and she hugs him. “Plus, someone called us in for a favor.” He then turns to see Kristy as she waves her hand.
“You planned this?” Matt asked.
“Yeah, I just wanted you to have something special after all that you’ve been through.” She responds.
“Oh, well, you did a great job.” He and Kristy kiss once again much to Emily’s dismay. He then sees Jack and the IRT there as well.
“Jack, you guys, I’m glad that you came.” 
“Oh, it was no big deal.” He then hands Matt a present. “Happy birthday.”
Matt looks around to see everyone at his place, the team, the IRT, heck, even JJ and Jack brought their own respective families to come. As he hugs every single person at his house, Rossi emerges from the kitchen.
“Alright people, food is ready. I hope you have room for some carbonara a la Rossi, especially you birthday boy.” Rossi says.
Matt turns to look at the people beside him and smiles. “Okay” He says. They all head out into the backyard and gather at a long table while the kids sit in a separate one. Then they lift their glasses up.
“To Matt, whom we are grateful now that he is safe and sound with the people he loves.” Rossi said.
“To Matt.” One by one each person says and they all raise their glass to toast to Matt’s return before drinking their glass of champagne. The night was endless as they chat, bond, play games and dance. Nothing made Matt smile more than seeing all of his friends and family happy, but he was even happier as he is now reunited with the people he loved. He continues to slow dance with Kristy as his friends look on, relieve to see their friend safe and sound.
